To me, 0 means nothing. The proper figure starts from 1-10. |

Do you count your age 1 the day you were born, is it not after year 1. Is it the day you start business you commemorate one year anniversary? You don't count 1 from the beginning but zero For age, you count from zero o, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 8,9 =1 0 years It is o to 9= 10 Not 1 to 10 =10 |

Both are correct. 2010 - 2019 (Decade) 2011 - 2020 (Decade) There is no formal or legal rule to this effect. |
Re: Is 2020 Really The Beginning Of A New Decade? by wwwihy: 1:31pm On Jan 01, 2020 |
ABSTRUSE:Both are not correct... The first is the correct one... For age, you don't count from 1 but zero. It is not the day you were born, you became 1 year old but a year after. |

The Calendar the world uses has no Year Zero between 1BC and 1AD. Normally, counting should start from zero.But our historical numbering omitted it. So, we started counting from Year 1. 1 AD to 10 AD = First Decade (10 Years) 11 AD to 20 AD= Second Decade (10 Years) 2020 is the end of the decade. 2021 starts the next one. The millennium actually started 2001. This was also argued then. Despite this, it is allowed to say we've started a new decade. But going by the numbering, we haven't. |

BeachLife: Your are wrong. The first decade started from January 1 0001 A.D to December 31, 0010.A.D 10 full Years. The current decade started from January 1 2011 A.D to December 31, 2020 A.D 10 full Years Therefore,2020 marks the end of a decade,while 2021 marks the beginning of another. Your analysis suggest that the first decade started from January 0000A.D to December 0001 A.D !!!!!!! Thee was nothing like January 1, 0000AD!!!!! The beginning of every count, counts! |

I know it’s a little tricky, but you just have to think about it. We are in the 21st century even though we haven’t hit the year 2100. A child born today is in its first year on earth until it turns 1 year old and begins their second year. At the start of every decade, the first year always ends with a 0 and the 10th year ends with a 9. There are only 10 digits from which all numbers are formed, 0 being the first and 9 being the tenth. In University, on your Matric day, you say you are in first year, even though you’ve probably only been on campus for a few days. When registering for 2nd year classes, you say you are in Year 2, but you have really only completed a full calendar year (forget ASUU and the usual Naija public school drama), same logic applies. 2020 is the first year in the twenties decade. One example of where binary place holders are applicable in every day life. heyjay: 3 Likes |

Dumbness everywhere. A decade is 10 years. It can start from anytime and end 10 years after. If we are talking in terms of decades after the 'AD' there was no year starting in 0. Here's an article that will shed more light on it. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/12/10/2020-start-new-decade-some-say-thats-not-until-2021/4366467002/ |

Donsheddy: Yeah, same way the years....look at it, when a first is born, it's in it's first year already, it just started counting down. It completing the 1 year means it's done with a year. So actually counting starts from 1. That also counts for the years. I don't know if you understand what I'm trying to pass across |

[quote author=dukeprince50 post=85401811]u are very intelligent but we start counting from 0's 1990 to 1999 2000 to 2009 2010 to 2019 2020 to 2029 Vision 2020 is not the year 2020 but from 2020 to 2029 make up to 2020's Just like the 1990's is from 1990 to It's vision 2020:20, which means ,Nigeria being the 20th largest economy by year 2020. 1 Like |
Re: Is 2020 Really The Beginning Of A New Decade? by Progresssss: 4:53pm On Jan 01, 2020 |
I think the question is "where did we get it wrong" because if we have been maintaining the counting from 1 to 10 and from 11 to 20 it will not be confusing. In my opinion this decade started 2011 and it will end 2020. |
